Original Note:
The samurai were the warriors of premodern Japan, they were thus predominantly of Japanese decent. There is known to have been only one African samurai "Yasuke" around 1579-1582. Its also highly unlikely that Samurai would have had "Black blood" https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2127.html#:~:text=The%20samurai%20(or%20bushi)%20were,Period%20(1603%2D1867). https://aap.isp.msu.edu/news_article/22285
